WMTW NEWS 8'S JIM KEITHLEY SHOWS US THEIR JOURNEY FROM THE DUMP TO THE LOCAL HUMANE SOCIETY. "Destined for the hopper at the town "Destined for the hopper at the town dump, a litter of kittens, but two good samaritan saved the day." "I could hear them, I could hear, I thought it was small little birds at first." BUT THE CHURPING SOUNDS CAME FROM THESE LITTLE GUYS - DISCOVERED STUFFED BEHIND AN ELECTRICAL PANEL AT THE ROCKLAND TRANSFER STATION. "Every time I grabbed one I could still hear crying, I could still hear little meowing and stuff like that and I pulled them out one at a time." UNTIL THERE WERE SIX - SHARON SPAULDING WAS THERE DROPPING OFF HER RECYCLABLES- SHE PACKED UP THE KITTENS AND DROVE TO THE "POPE MEMORIAL HUMANE SOCIETY" IN THOMASTON. "He found me a box and some rags and we got all the kittens in a box, drove them over here, I cried all the way." RIGHT AWAY THE KITTENS TOOK TO "MITTENS" A MOTHER CAT WHO CAME TO THE SHELTER WITH A GUN SHOT WOUND TO THE LEG - SHE HAD JUST WEINED HER OWN LITTER AND QUICKLY BECAME THE SURROUGATE MOM. TRACY SALA AT THE SHELTER SAYS THE KITTENS ARE DOING JUST FINE. "They seem to be very content they are eating a lot and resting and they all look pretty good." IT WILL BE 8-TO-10 WEEKS BEFORE THESE "BUNDLES OF FUR" ARE READY TO BE ADOPTED..A FOSTER HOME HAS BEEN FOUND IN THE MEANTIME - AND IT LOOKS LIKE "MITTENS" MIGHT COME ALONG AS WELL. "This was so fortunate that someone was there before anytime really horrible happened." "To me it's cruel. In this day and age with animal shelters everywhere I mean we've got I think three in Know County, at least two that I'm aware of." "The irony is, this town dump is only about a mile from the shelter. The executive director says if anybody finds themselves in this situation, please bring the kittens to them. We're in Rockland, Jim Keithley WMTW News 8."
